Holy Mary, Mother of God - Boehner loses his ever-loving mind

[CrusaderFrank]

Democrats won't budge until we're in default and then they'll blame Booooosh

 

[M14 Shooter]

And when we get downgraded again? Y'all going to blame Obama, like last time?

Rhetorical, of course.

Here is a rhetorical question in response to your rhetorical question. If Obama manages to get reelected with his bad record, who will he blame everything on after being President for 4 years?

Look, you do realize that Obama's record is the result of trying to fix what took Bush 8 years to break.

However true that may be, fact is He has only made it all worse.

We were heading to the worse depression ever and thanks to Obama we are in a recession and recovering.

A statement totally devoid of truth - no wonder The Obama is your Secular Messiah.

Obama has performed a miracle with the check bood he go from Bush.

You mean by borrowing more money in less than half the time?

I do not know where to began to tell you what Obama has done to get the fucking wreck our of the ditch.

That's because there's nothing on the list.
EDIT:
That's not completely true -- The Obama DID force the Democrats to cut taxes for the rich.

Democrats fail to realize that default is a choice; Democrats would rather default than cut entitlements as entitlements keep them in power.

I think we need to start with stopping all payroll checks to Congress and their staffs. Then we need to reduce their retirement benefits so they are in line with everyone. None of this retirement stuff if you only serve one term. Then we need to make them use Obamacare for their health insurance needs...........I'm thinking that will be a huge incentive to get a budget on the table and enact true spending cuts.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The Left offered: $5 Trillion in new debt, no budget and our first ever down grade....why are they even allowed in the room?

Why?

Who would ever work with a debtor like that?

And, not one rw noticed that the pubs have once again broken their word and are, AGAIN, holding us hostage to their demands.

Sure lets pretend this is about fiscal responsibility and not about making sure the Pentagon never receives one red cent less than before. We need more bombs and if that means more people go hungry then hey, make 'em a tomahawk missle sandwich

It is precisely about fiscal responsibility. One of the ways to cut the enormous amount of spending is to cut off the free money to the parasites...um...I mean poor people.

I should be grateful. I know he's throwing the election. But it's like watching a train wreck.

Taxmageddon sparks rising anxiety - The Washington Post

In the meantime, political leaders are focused less on finding solutions than on drawing lines in the sand. In a speech Tuesday, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) plans to address the issue of national debt, which will once again be nearing its legal limit in January, just as the tax hikes and spending cuts are due to hit.

According to advance remarks provided to The Post, Boehner will insist that any increase in the debt limit be accompanied by spending “cuts and reforms greater than the debt limit increase” — the same demand that pushed the Treasury to the brink of default during last summer’s debt-limit standoff.

“This is the only avenue I see right now to force the elected leadership of this country to solve our structural fiscal imbalance,” Boehner plans to say at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation fiscal summit. “If that means we have to do a series of stop-gap measures, so be it.”

Last week, the House approved a plan to protect the Pentagon in January by reconfiguring $110 billion in across-the-board spending cuts — known as “sequestration” — so they would fall exclusively on domestic programs, such as food stamps and health care for the poor.

obama's failed economy has not went anywhere no matter what you post about what a Republican did or suggest they did short of murder The American people do not care and will not change the emptiness of their wallets.

How is that fiscally responsible? The debts are owed. It is not fiscally responsible to refuse to honor the debts.

And since the debt ceiling was raised o so very many times on Bush's watch - why was he not refused.

Where in there did he say we weren't going to pay the debt? He was saying that the DEBT LIMIT shouldn't be raised unless we cut spending.

And what happens if it's not lifted? .... We don't honor our debts. Exactly.

What happens if the debt is not lifted? They will be forced to cut spending. My dream come true. Start with all the lame liars and fakes that are collecting social security. Most of them are not old nor retired.

...and worships the Secular Messiah that has retained, if not expanded, almost all of the policies that, He argued, made Bush a failure.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Republicans have to come to terms with the fact that Democrats don't like us, don't like fiscal responsibility and will never like us and will never be fiscally responsible.

They want a default and would rather default than even prepared a budget. They are without shame and they will blame us, no matter what.

STOP TRYING TO GET ALONG WITH THEM!

Going without a budget is a criminal dereliction of duty.

HOW CAN YOU BEGIN TO HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET WITH A PARTY THAT IS CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT?

 

[Nosmo King]

What I saw was someone being the adult in the room. Speaking of losing their ever loving mind, has Reid passed a budget yet?

Yes he was...and fiscally so. He knows the problem is spending and addressed it properly. The Democrats are Hell-bent on taking us down the path of the EU or bust.

The "taking us down the path of the EU or bust" meme is a canard. First, the EU went to a whole new currency: the Euro. Secondly, the fiscal stability of all the EU member states was never verified. Third, countries like Spain, Greece and Portugal had their debt 'serviced' by brokers in the derivatives market; a risky proposition, just ask Birmingham, Alabama.

I know it's easy, convenient and gratifying to Conservatives to point to the current European fiscal crisis and blame it exclusively on spending and deficits. But it's far more complex. Using the EU as a whipping post for Liberal policies is not the most responsible argument to make, particularly when so many other smart people understand that it just isn't so.

Raising the debt ceiling allows us to borrow more money.
It isn't about how much money we have or can spend.

No one should be allowed to borrow money when they're in this much debt.

 

[RoadVirus]

I'm all for cutting military spending, only if it's done right. Don't go slashing here and slashing there like you're whacking at jungle vines with a machete AND it doesn't jeopardize our National Security and ability to respond to a crisis situation.

Cut entitlements too. Course, as long as the Dumbos control the Senate and Obama has the veto pen, any budget with entitlement cuts won't pass. And that was one of the main problem issues from last year or so.

Returning to the campaign trail here Monday, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney sought to blame the U.S. government’s credit downgrade squarely on President Obama.

Romney said the downgrade by ratings agency Standard & Poor’s, which has sparked a sharp drop in global financial markets, “punctuated once again the failure of leadership by the president.”

Yup-yup! Because Obama was operating in a vacuum, amirite?!

You know, actually he does. Even the Dems in Congress have complained about how he never confers with them or accepts their calls. But when you are an arrogant elitist who has it all figured out, why would you?

 

[Listening]

So he wants fiscal responsibility so he's losing his mind? Have we really come to this?

Do you really think it's a good idea to spend more than you take in?

The answer is obvious.

You don't keep doing something unless you think it is a good idea.

Silly Avatar.....

John Boehner's New Line in the Sand: "No Debt Ceiling Increase Unless We Cut Support for Disabled Kids to Protect Big Oil and Billionaires"

 

[Peach]

The present GOP is entirely in the thrall of the military-industrial complex. And they care absolutely nothing about the citizens that have been so damaged economically by the debacle created by their de-regulation of the banking industry.

The far right went from "deficits don't matter" when selling the Iraq disaster to a morbid fear of spending. Guess what the gaulitiers want cut? It won't be the MIC.

Get ready for a rerun of debt ceiling armageddon - The Plum Line - The Washington Post

Democrats are pointing out that it’s a bit surprising to see the House Speaker laying demands down for the next debt deal, when Republicans are trying to reneg on the last one by cancelling the defense cuts mandated by the deficit supercommittee’s failure.
